Two injured in separate shootings in Camden

CAMDEN — Two people were injured in unrelated shootings over a three-hour period here, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk said Monday.

A 33-year-old Collingwood man was shot about 12:05 a.m. Monday near the intersection of Cope and Davis streets. The victim — after being wounded — ran to the Tamarack Apartments where a person called police.

Three hours earlier, at 9:30 p.m. Sunday, officers received a report of a shooting at the intersection of 28th and Saunders streets. When they arrived, they found a 38-year-old Merchantville man lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds. The man was transported to Cooper University Hospital here. He was reported in critical condition.

There have been five non-fatal shootings in the city in the past week, a spokesman for Faulk said. There have been seven murders in the city since the beginning of October.
